Awesome game
Probably the best ski game out there
Good game and closest to a real ski feel
As someome who does love to ski in real life i found this game better than any of the others available for ios at the moment. Why?
I was not forced into an unnatural view where i was looking at the skier and therefore seeing what terrain was behind my skier and nit what was coming up.
And while this app doesn't have a first person view that i would REALLY to to have, it does have first person view in playback and it has 'just behind your first person view' when playing the game.
Improvements and add ones id love to see and would pay for, include
Longer runs and the ability to ski where you want not just on the course (I realise that probably requires a lot of coding)
The ability to choose the same views(where relevant) in game play as in replay.
A bigger selection of skis, ie carvers and fats (snowboarders i am guessing would also have some requirements here but as a skier I've no idea what they might be lol
And basically more mountain and more chances to go off the groomed terrain and go into back country
And more ski options and more advantages or disadvantages from the choice of ski and the terrain it is used on.(probably a good way if built nicely to also get more income from purchases of skis suitable for terrain someone wants to ski...
Ie maybe make a whole mountain free to ski but a purchase for fat skis, carvers etc etc so people can experience and appreciate the game in free skis, and also appreciate the value of the correct skis for the terrain and then buy them in the game
Overall it took me a while to figure out some of the controls and still figuring that out (but real life is like that isnt it? Lol) as i had no idea the right hand control on the touch screen allowed me to determine which direction my skier was in during jumps and till I realised that it felt very limited (use your right hand not just for speed but you can use the touch on that side to make your skier do a forward or backward flip, change to face forward and back, do sideways flips and probably more.
Good game, I recommend any skiers give it a try and take their time to figure out the controls.Ii hope the developers keep working on it to offer first person POV to those who want it and more of the virtual mountain to ski without pre determined runs.
Gave it 4/5. As I like the app as is, and if they could Implement the suggested improvements id be happy to pay for some of them and then it would be a 5/5, at least from the perspective of someone who loves to ski on real snow in real life and wants an app to remind her of that during summer, or when the snowfall doesn't behave in winter, 😆
